Re: Wireless interference?

The freeview signals are completly different to those being received by your Wifi connection.
The wireless keyboard and mouse will also most likely either be bluetooth, infra red, or wifi.
If wifi, it should work fine. In the event it doesnt and does interfere you should be able to change the channel on one of your devices so they don't conflict.

Re: Wireless interference?

What wireless router do you have?

Most are by default on channel 11, change that to another number.

Re: Wireless interference?

The only interference risk really is the phone and wireless router, if you get issues do as above and log into the router page and change the default wireless channel, I use 13 as 4 people within close proximity of us decided to jump on 11 lol

Re: Wireless interference?

As above - I have two wireless routers in our house - one on channel 2, and the other on channel 13.

Re: Wireless interference?

just keep the phone at least 1 meter away from the aerials for the wireless router both at the sender and receiver ends and you should be fine

one thing i have found that can play havoc if you have one is a baby monitor though took me forever to get wireless to work at a friends once i realized every time it went wrong was when the baby was in bed and they only switched it on then lol
